The secret to making this steak so tasty is in the sauce. The marinade gives the steak a ton of Korean flavor. This steak is used as part of the Spicy Korean Rice & Slaw bowl, but can be used with stir-fried vegetables, in a sandwich, or over a salad.
Korean Stir-Fry Steak
Ingredients
- 1 lb steak (sirloin, flank) cut into small strips
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup scallions (about 2-3)
- 3 cloves minced garlic (about 2 1/2 tbsp)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 1 1/2 tbsp gochujang
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
-
Cut steak into thin strips. If available, you can purchase the “stir-fry steak” which is already cut into thin strips.
-
Mix all ingredients of the marinade together. I mix these together in the same container I will use to marinate the steak.
-
Add steak strips to the marinade and mix until all strips are coated in the marinade. Refrigerate for 1 hour – overnight.
-
Remove from refrigerator approximately 15 minutes before ready to cook to allow meat to get closer to room temperature.
-
Heat large skillet to medium heat. Add meat and cook for a few minutes on each side. Meat will cook quickly since it is in thin strips.
-
Remove meat and cook remaining juices for a few minutes extra. Pour over meat.
